Marsha Trent joined the staff of St. John’s on June 4, 2014 and rapidly mastered the finer points of service bulletins, parish directories, and other mainstays of church life. Self described as semi-retired, Marsha acknowledges she isn’t shy and she likes word play. In fact, she’d say that word play is what she’s been doing for most of her professional life. She came to California from Colorado more than 20 years ago after a long career in newspaper journalism. Before finding a home in Petaluma about 15 years ago, she worked for a newsletter publisher and at various North Bay newspapers. She worked at the Petaluma Visitor’s program for nearly a decade as visitor services coordinator and media relations director.

Marsha is working part-time on communications and administration at St. John’s. She’s usually at the church on Wednesday from about 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and on Thursday from about 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. She can be contacted via e-mail at marshat.sjecp@gmail.com.
